sun was burning. He had been goo(
father, he had been a good friend, b,
had done no neighbOr wrong; if yOt
wanted dollar he had 1t to lend, ant
his help to tie weak was strong. H,
talked for his town and worked for il
too, and swore by it when the meet
came, he had stood by his country, its
Red White and Blue, and defended il
through blood and fame. No man In
the city beloved more than he when
the bleak winds of winter swept by
for storms could not daunt him moi
cause him to flee from the path where
he saw duty lie. But when summer
came and made life q task to endure
the SUMS whitening ray, he could moi
resist the temptation to ask, SIS it hot
enough for you to-day ?"-We do not
know where his bright spirit may
dwell since we slugged him and laid
him away; perhaps he's in heaven,
perhaps he's in-well, perhaps its hot
enough for him to-day!

The REGISTER doesn't want to begin
the campaign yet, but it takes pleasure
in giving its entire approval to the
suggestion made by "Pencil" i'm his let.
ter last week that Mr.. D. d. Britton
should succeed himsetfin the office of
sheriff. We think the suggestion will
be approved also by large majority
of the republicans of the county and
by a great many democrats. Since Mr..
BrittOn assumed the office by the ap-
en- its duties his constant personal at
tention and has discharged them all
with promptness, with intelligence and
absolutelywithout fear or favor. He has
fairly earned the endorsement that a
full term would give him, and we have
no doubt it will be awarded him.
Mr.. H. w. Talcott, ex,judgeof the
Seventh Judicial district, of lola, was
in town Saturday attending to some
legal business. The Judge remarked
to us that while he had at various
times voted for democratic candidates
upon local issues, the action of Cleve-
land in the matter perta lining to the
turning over of the rebel flags had
thoroughly and effectually eradicated
from his political system all democrat
ic huuor that might have hitherto ex.
isted... Cleveland's rebel flag dose has
been bitter pill for war democrats to
swallow and its nauseating effect can
be endured not longer than 1883 when
a general disgOrging of rebel demOc-
racy will take place.-Erie Record.
The Council of Administration of the
Kansas G.. A. R., held a meeting on

PEELED in any way to recognize any
persons "except.thOsewhO have render
ell honorable service in the armies of
the Union and others entitled to our
respect and confidence"
George Pierce, late of Bronson, Kan
sas, has changed his address while
still in arrears with us for two years
subscription to the REGISTER, with
out giving US notice. The law says
that such action is ''prima facie evil
dence of intentional Fraud" but we
are inclined to think it was merely
carelessness on the part of Mr.. Pierce.

Since the road has been opened to
Freeman's Grove it is visited every
evening and especially on Sunday eve
nlngs by parties out for stroll. III
this grove were the property of an As

would soon become a favOrite and
very inviting resort.
